2013 MS Bike ride "Citrus Tour"

Another great ride through the orange fields of Polk County. This year Kevin, Mathew, Sally and I did the 100 mile route on Saturday. Eddie, Chance, Debra, Jeremy and Jana did 50 miles. Sally suffered the most with a new seat that was not right for her. With the van at Bok tower Chance, Mathew and I headed back doing another 50 miles on Sunday. Amazing how this year the hills people have complained about really stood out.




 
 
 

   
 
 
 
 
 

The medical center loop morphed

On April 7th Kevin and Mathew did what I am referring to as the Mega Medical Center loop.  This 80+ mile ride is perfect primer for a flat florida century.  With St. Cloud at the mid-point and the shopping center at Narcoosee and LeeVista at the 3/4 mark; this is a great ride.  We also pass many other cyclists, usually going the other way.  Bike lanes for 90% of ride makes it a safer ride than being in the road.  On April 11th Sally, Mathew and myself did the ride and the details are below.  Realize we did have a moderate N-NW wind which slowed are progress coming up Narcoosee.
